For a long time this was normal here, even at the supreme court, political polarization has changed this over my lifetime.

Don't assume every state is like Georgia. And don't assume every judgeship is as politicized as the SCOTUS.

In my state, Michigan, judges are specifically on the 'non partisan' part of the ballot. If you do your research as a voter, you still generally know where they stand.

Prosecutors are different, they normally are partisan.

We're talking about a state office & state party though, going after a former president of the apposing party for crimes committed in that state. It's not like Biden has, or can have, anything to do with this, he's not going after his political opponent.

Trump is not attempting to run for any office in Georgia. Fani Willis isn't removing or attacking a direct political rival, just a national (not state) figure from the apposing party.

The charges against Trump at a national level, under the control of Biden's justice system, are being handled by a 'special prosecutor' with rather hands off approach. Frankly, the political bias there is from the judge overseeing the case, appointed by Trump himself, obviously trying to avoid having the trial at all.
